I have an 88 dakota 2wd and I was told I could lift it up a little bit with wood blocks....How is this done?

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to me.

The ONLY way that I would use wood to lift a vehicle would ne to use boards and drive onto them....
If you mean using it to do a body lift type operation. Just buy the proper kit. It will include all the parts and pieces.
- Sure that will work. Take a stack of 2x8 and 1x8 end (say 10" long) pieces. Get about 40 or 50 of them.
- Stack a bunch under each axle.
- Let the air out of the tires.
- Stack one or more under each tire.
- Put air back in tires.
- Stack more under the axle.
- Repeat steps 3-6 until the truck is as high as you wish.
(suggestion, use jack stands when lifting a vehicle this way!)
